Is this just the three second clearance or something more substantial that
will guarentee builds ?

The #if statement starting on that line is just for the three second clearance.
I use it on a local build of Make and it seems to work well.

The "<file> has modification time 0.0096 s in the future" were harmless.


But the "Clock skew detected. Your build may be incomplete." can possibly indicate an incomplete build.
This seems to be a problem on my slower machine XP, but not on my newer Vista one.


Were you getting clock skew problems too ?

I have not had time and head space to build make yet, I'll try it in the morning.

Many thanks for the reply,

Aaron
